The Cincinnati Brass Band will perform at Sycamore High School at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24.

Get ready for an afternoon of musical entertainment at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24, with Cincinnati's own trumpet virtuoso, Terren Frenz, and the Cincinnati Brass Band for the "Musical Magic of John Williams!"

Frenz is the director of bands at the University of Cincinnati. Additional featured acts include dancers from Kids First Sports Center and the Rifle and Saber Drill team from University of Cincinnati ROTC.

The proceeds of this concert will benefit the Freestore Foodbank here in Cincinnati. Admission for all age groups is $10. Also, canned goods will be collected at the door for donation to the Freestore Foodbank.

Master of ceremonies Shelley Bamberger is a musical theater graduate of UC's College-Conservatory of Music and a former radio/TV personality. Frenz will guest-conduct the march from the movie "1941" and play a trumpet solo on "Summon the Heroes." The Kids First Sports Center dancers will perform to the theme from "ET" and the UC ROTC Rifle and Saber Drill Team will perform to "Hymn to the Fallen." The concert will round out with more of John Williams' movie themes from "Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List," "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Harry Potter" as well as select patriotic pieces.

The Cincinnati Brass Band was formed in 1993 to provide an opportunity for qualified adult musicians the experience of playing traditional British brass band music. There are 35 members of the CBB, who along with their conductor, Anita Cocker Hunt, volunteer their time and efforts to spread the sound of a brass band to the general public.

Proceeds from this concert will benefit the on-going efforts of the Freestore Foodbank to provide food, connection and hope for local families and individuals in need. The Freestore Foodbank distributes more than 12 million pounds of food per year through a dedicated network of more than 325 local member agencies. They are a trusted partner to these agencies, which include soup kitchens, pantries, shelters, community groups, and other social services organizations.

Member agencies are integral to the mission ending hunger and they act as a direct connection to the 20-county region.

Sycamore High School Theater is at 7400 Cornell Road, Montgomery. Tickets are on sale at all Buddy Rogers Music Stores, or at the door before the concert.
